Three possible places to find funding for insulation:
If your church or community building is looking to fund an insulation/energy efficiency project, the Climate Challenge Fund (CCF) may be of help.
CCF grants up to £150,000/yr provide funds and support for community groups, (including faith groups), to fit insulation and other energy efficient measures in community owned buildings such as churches and church halls. To qualify for funding these buildings must be owned, managed and used by the community; grants cannot fund projects in buildings that are used exclusively for worship.
For a community group to be eligible for a CCF grant they must be community led, operate on a not-for-profit basis, prove they can achieve measurable cuts in their carbon footprint within their neighbourhood and leave a sustainable legacy in the community.
CCF grants are available until March 2015. For more information and full criteria please see www.keepscotlandbeautiful.org/ccf or call a Development Officer on 01786 468 779.
